Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) weighed in today on former Rep. Eric Massa's (D-NY) admission that he and male staffers engaged in "tickle fights," calling his former colleague "one taco short of a happy meal."
On Don Imus' program on Fox Business today, Weiner took a few shots at Massa:
"I don't know why these accusations of impropriety are always coming down on the guys that are having tickle fights with their staffers. It just seems so unfair to stereotype."
"I have very few hard and fast rules," he added. "One of them is not to have sword fights in the morning with Rahm Emanuel." Weiner was referring to Massa's claims that Emanuel confronted him in the House gym showers.
Imus also asked Weiner whether he'd consider a run for Senate. Weiner replied: "Who would want that job?"
"You get elected and they issue you a walker and oxygen tank," he said. "It's not really clear what they do over there."

Would I be correct in guessing Tony has never been to McDonalds?
